I'd agree with socratic method's comment in response to this -- don't actually do this, for reasons sm explains -- but there is an interesting point about the role of spam in the third world as an industry. I've seen a few articles that claim that internet cafes in Nigeria, for example, are almost universally funded by people sending out 419 spams. (http://slate.msn.com/id/2072851/ is the article that googled up first)
I don't think it's relevant in the case of US cases like this one, but there's something that's not all bad when we're seeing the spread of internet access into Nigeria fueled by folks in the developed world hitting the delete key.
